BIG BIG thanks to everyone who picked up issue 1 of IS TED OK? The book sold out everywhere and it appears that the spec market has caught a whiff of it—not sure how I feel about that but, hey, if people are talking about it, that’s good? I can’t wait for y’all to see where this story goes!

The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. How it works:

🚨 NEW on Shelfdust! 🚨 Don’t Take G.I. Joe For Granted, by @tomshaps.bsky.social: shelfdust.com/2026/02/25/d...

In a Tobe Hooper mood lately

This falls into the same camp as the new Tomb Raider show for me where there's nothing technically "bad" about it but its so generically "accurate" that it almost doesn't even feel like there's a real take here other than "look its live action!"

Pokémon has lost me so hard and this doesn't help

Excited for this because in 2027 the New York Jets will have every single draft pick possible and still win less than 5 games

You must leave corporate media behind. It is hostile to you and your lifestyle.

terrible horrible no good very bad news for arts and information

Its a good day when @arpadokay.bsky.social drops some new writing on comics

I know its been done to death, but if anyone wants a piece on Dark Knight Returns for the 40th anniversary, I would be glad to write several thousand words on it and the various ways its misread by people online 🫡

Me with 195 hours of sick time: man, I just dont know if I can call out today

Its funny how 2 Gundam shows in a row toy with the idea of recreational battle leagues and mobile suit duels, and neither are anywhere near as good as G Gundam

G-Witch Prologue: the government is putting an end to the disgusting practice of appropriating medical technology for use in weapons of mass destruction Me: hell yeah! G-Witch: the government is the bad guy Me: what...

Got a wave of new followers since I posted this but just a reminder of stuff coming from me in March!

🚨NEW POST🚨 I got the chance to read the first issue of IS TED OK? by @davechisholmcomics.com a little early, so I wrote a few words about its relatable corporate dystopia. Check it out in comic shops on 2/25/26 from @madcavestudios.com! 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/is-ted...

Gundam Seed Freedom: really bad!

Congratulations to accused sexual assaulter Jason Latour on his new @imagecomics.com book!

Image wants you to forget that multiple women have accused Jason Latour of sexual harassment and assault, and that he specifically used his position in the industry as leverage against them. Cool!

Watching Gundam Seed Freedom and I've never seen a movie with this many superfluous location titles

Not a heavy movie weekend but all good ones

Read @davechisholmcomics.com’s Is Ted Ok?. What stuck with me was the isolation of it, scratching that nugget of aloneness we all feel and our desire to feel connection. Dave is a composer and this is going to be a complex visual symphony full of unexpected notes. Pick it up.

Had to do it

Moonraker is awesome because Bond is basically Bugs Bunny walking into a room where everyone not only wants to kill him but no one is even trying to hide it. Its just one murderous setpiece after another without any pretense of espionage

This post is free but I would appreciate people contributing to my Patreon so I can keep writing about topics I find interesting 🙂

Great movie, just FYI

Its cold, its raining and I'm still sick. You know what that means: Warm coffee and 80s horror

A thing about watching the Olympics I really like is how no one ever tells me to bet on anything

Neat!

Watched Shocker for the first time and Wes Craven really was one of a kind. Completely insane movie from concept to execution. Caught me off guard almost immediately in the best possible way. Also in love with Camille Cooper in this

Think I'm coming down with something. Send positive vibes and soup 🤒

Everyone should grab this first issue just for how well it captures the insanity of mundane living. Soulless jobs, isolated living, and that constant sense that you're not really there. Can't wait to see where it goes!

At a con and found a gorgeous print I couldn't resist

This but about every substack book that was announced a few years ago

Yeah so that Ring ad that aired at the Super Bowl about 'Search Party?" 404 Media now has proof that it won't just be used to locate dogs... www.404media.co/leaked-email...

a man in Oklahoma was speaking out against a data center in his community. He went a few seconds over time and the city had him arrested for trespassing

Not single thing in theaters near me that I feel like watching tonight. So that means its gonna be a beer and comics evening to start the weekend!

Of the pieces that I submitted, this long one on Joe Casey's pacifist Superman is my favourite... Probably one of my favourite pieces I've ever done. graphicontent.blogspot.com/2025/02/paci...

One of the pieces I submitted for consideration was a review of Animal Pound that dives into the messy history of the book. I'm still very proud of it. Give it a read if you can! 🔗 www.comicsbeat.com/trade-rating...

I agree with this 100%. you can’t argue against AI based on quality alone, because what happens in 5 years? What happens in 10? if the quality is there…suddenly you’ll be okay with AI, right? of course not. obviously not. so you have to find some other moral, philosophical argument against it.

Crazy that there's still no Compendium/Omnibus/DC Finest/thicc ass trade line that collects the entirety of Legends of the Dark Knight

Now that the holidays, the holiday hangover, and January malaise are over, work has become chaos. Its almost like spending the entire last stretch of the previous year doing nothing and pushing stuff off to the new year is a bad idea...

Let me be the first to say HAPPY 49TH BIRTHDAY 2000 AD!!

THIS THIS THIS. It's NOT about the quality of the work, it's about the circumventing of process and the theft. The whole thing is fucked-up, not just that it adds a finger or whatever

Respect to all the crafts people and artists nitpicking generative AI for its various visual continuity errors. But imo this is entirely the wrong way to critique AI. The goal isnt to point out its inaccuracies or lack of realism. The goal is to delegitimize the method entirely
